Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, also simply known as More Than Meets the Eye or MTMTE, is a monthly ongoing comic book series published by IDW Publishing that ran for six years, beginning January 11, 2012 and ending with a one-shot on December 7, 2016. Written by James Roberts, More Than Meets the Eye had a variety of different artists and cover artists draw various issues of the series. Set in 2012 to 2016, More Than meets the Eye focuses on the crew of the Lost Light, a ship whose quest is to find the fabled Knights of Cybertron.
As the first series of IDW Publishing's 2012 "Phase 2" of their Transformers comics, More Than Meets the Eye soon became one of IDW's best-selling titles. In 2013-2014, More Than Meets the Eye hosted five issues of the Dark Cybertron crossover, an event that crossed into both of IDW's ongoing Transformers series at the time. Later, in 2016, MTMTE hosted two issues for the Transformers: Titans Return crossover and one issue for Revolution. That same year, the series received a sequel ongoing also written by Roberts that was set immediately after the final story arc, Transformers: Lost Light.
